Agreed. But taking _full_ advantage of the standards may mean it
doesn't work correctly in IE. So you DO have to test for IE.
Nobody was saying not to use standards. But since IE is still far and
away the big slice of pie, it behoves a developer to not rely on the
parts of the standards that IE can't use. And to be knowledgeable of
how IE's non-standard implementations of the standards (e.g. box
model).
Oh, and you do know there's no such thing as future-proof, right? :-)

I didn't see anyone suggest that they were writing just to the
idiosynchracies of one particular browser at the expense of others. I
did see them say that since IE is the major player that you do have to
test for it.
